Hi @SurendraD 

 

Your solution is great, @lbendlin. It worked like a charm! Here I have another idea in mind, and I would like to share it for reference.

 

You can try this calculated column as follows.

Week Number = 
VAR CurrentWeek = WEEKNUM(MAX([Date]), 2)
VAR DateWeek = WEEKNUM([Date], 2)
RETURN IF((CurrentWeek - DateWeek + 1) <= 5, "W" & CurrentWeek - DateWeek + 1, BLANK())

 

Result:

When I changed the date to today (3/25/2024):

vxuxinyimsft_1-1711335610257.png
